The 100 questions worth asking project began in 2020 as a #100dayproject on Instagram during the pandemic. Since then it has flourished from an overflowing list of questions to an ongoing body of letterpress and monoprints. The work is being made whenever I can get my hands on a press, some printing time and some wood type. And the questions are never ending as life keeps unfolding. Below is a presentation I gave in 2021 at the Book Club of California about the project.

 

 

 

About the questions project:
Looking back, the work that became the questions project (made in 2020) was created more out of necessity than probably any other work I’ve created.  It kept me sane in the usual ways that making tends to, but the added bonus of thinking mostly in questions gave me the much needed feeling of ‘an open door’ even when there were none to be found. The questions gave the illusion on some days, and the harsh reminder on most others, that there is still a choice. The choice might not be how I envisioned or in a language I could comprehend, but asking questions to problems where I have absolutely no answers is what I like to think of as a deliberate practice in imagining.

If I can’t dream up what to ask, I certainly have no chance at an answer. The questions are the beginning, the middle and the end. The questions serve as openings + invitations to practice my ability to summon & interact with the unknown; to choose again, choose differently. To understand when there is no choice & question within those constraints. To invent a new set of variables, to begin again, & again & again… — e bond
